Cheshire is one of England’s oldest cheeses; dating back to the eleventh
century. It can claim a mention in the Doomsday Book and boast to have
been a firm favorite at the court of Elizabeth I. In 1939, 400 farmhouses
produced approximately 6,000 tons of Cheshire a year. Today, there are
only a handful left. The Hawkstone Abbey Farm is the only one remaining
that makes clothbound, unpasteurized farmhouse Cheshire. At Hawkstone
Abbey Farm in Shrewesbury (not quite in Cheshire), John Arlott and his
wife Lucy have been making Cheshire since the 50's. In fact, their
cheesemaking room is still attached to their house. John Arlott believes
one of the reasons why Cheshire cheese is so special is due to the rich
deposits of salt in the soil on which their Friesian Holstein cross herd
grazes. Cheshire has had a reputation for being sharp and acidic, partly
to do with the amount of starter used. Appleby’s Cheshire uses less. The
acidity takes longer to rise resulting in a richer, buttery, more mellow
flavor. Cheshire’s loose crumbly texture comes from cutting the curds,
breaking them by hand, draining the whey and then milling them. Aged from
6-10 months, the crumbly texture belies a full bodied spicy flavor.
Appleby’s Cheshire has a sweet, caramelly-ripe butter smell with notes of
straw and a bright acidity. Enjoy this special tangy cheese with a
Cabernet, Bordeaux or a fine ale.
